Which version of Linux might work with a iBook G3/366 clamshell?

Question

It has 128MB of ram, and its running mac os x 10.4, but its pretty slow. So, i was wondering if there was any Linux version, which might be faster.
With any links please!!!!

If not Linux, any other operating system that might be good.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Running on 128MB I would suggest staying with a Smaller distro. Ones to consider I would suggest: U-Lite (Ubuntu Lite), or Puppy. There are many to choose from...check out distrowatch at the link below.

Answer 2

in case you meet those standards you are able to run Tiger. yet i think of you're caught with Panther (10.3..) to apply Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs: A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor outfitted-in FireWire a minimum of 256 MB of RAM DVD force (DVD-ROM), combination (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for setting up a minimum of three GB of unfastened disk area; 4 GB in case you place interior the XCode 2 Developer equipment
